The area of the specified triangle as measured on the TIN surface.
[Visual Basic .NET] Public ReadOnly Property Area3D As Double
[C#] public double Area3D {get;}
[C++]
HRESULT get_Area3D(
System.Double* pArea
);
[C++]
Parameters pArea [out, retval]
pArea is a parameter of type double*
The returned value is the surface area of the triangle. It takes into consideration the 3-D nature of the triangle. The surface area will always equal to or larger than the 2-D, or projected, area. The larger the difference between 2-D and 3-D areas, the steeper the triangle.
